The latter is true. The former is just example #13242345 of artists thinking they are more important than they are lol

I am. Intellectual property is not a real, tangible thing. It is a concept and a failed one.
The problem started because of regulation. In what world would that be grounds for even more regulation? All that will do is stifle competition, allowing corporations to hold onto their monopolies and oligopolies while the barrier to entry for competitors rises.
Furthermore, the greater a state's regulatory power, the greater the incentive for corrupt, controlling individuals to worm their way in, and the greater the incentive for companies to buy regulatory power (lest a competitor do so).
Libertarian here
Maybe start deregulating shit
For example, medications cost more because our patent system is abused by companies who will slightly change the chemical composition just to renew their patent.
Culture, current events, and politics are basically the same forum. I see no reason not to merge the three into politics

I think everyone who made the DDO or DART HoF should be grandfathered in for the DCraft HoF.
Correct. They saw a constrained Donald Trump sit back and allow the Obama economy to continue, then compared that to Biden's inheritance of an economy closed down with a decimated supply chain, and acted like both presidents were dealing with the same thing.
lol. If that’s what you want to believe go ahead. This isn’t the thread I’m gonna argue with you about it
Doesn't say many good things about the American electorate
I do however agree that the American electorate sucks
Ok but that goes for Harris too. The public saw Trump 1st term vs Biden’s term (during which Harris probably had more input than the vice president usually does) and gave Trump a second term.

If Kamala Harris were to run again and win the Democratic nomination, it’s an L for them long before the Republicans have their guy.
Yeah, I think the Democratic Party wants Newsom to be their candidate.
Don’t know, didn’t play. Just not my thing. Seems very similar to Animal Crossing? Don’t bc I didn’t play either
Nah it was aliens bro trust me

Yeah, like the big 86 47 seashell attempt to kill the President LOL.
How about”kill them, let the streets soak in blood” from the aforementioned Hasan?
Keep in mind in only “considering.” The critiques I have on Trump are things the democratic party does but worse. The question isnt if Trump does the garbage that ever other politician does. The question is if he does it often enough to warrant a third party vote.
I am not ashamed of my past votes for him and never will be.
It’s called nuance, something you wouldn’t find from your daily cable tv
So when I come back with my refutation, shut off the cable and think for yourself for once.
"whine like a little bitch" about assassinations, death threats and other calls for violence. Yeah this is why I call you mfs cocksuckers.
alr ya boomer shitlib, Roosevelt's sidepiece. I'm not even MAGA anymore. I'm a libertarian. I went from "heck yeah Trump!" to "welp he's not a Democrat at least" to "Considering voting libertarian." But you don't give a shit about that.
Sure, give me a day and I'll give my refutation of the whole article.
I could not care less about what some MSM schmuck thinks.
The left has lied endlessly about Trump, Kirk, others, their supporters, and even people who are just right wing- telling the whole world that they’re literally Hitler coming to end the world- leading to these attempts on the former two.
Prominent politicians have told their followers the “raise a scene” when Republicans enter a restaurant (iirc this was Maxine Waters talking about Mike Pence in 2019). Influencers like Hasan “hasanabi” Piker have outright called for these assassination attempts. Many all over the news and social media cheered when Charlie Kirk was killed. And to top it all off, the apparent #1 conspiracy theory haters will tell us that these attempts are staged.
These people can go fuck themselves, including the cocksucker who wrote this piece of shit article. Classic “republicans pounce” deflection, with no real attempt to actually refute the points being made by the right.
If the rights in the bill of rights were the foundation of the country, even before the concept of self governance, then they would not have built in a process through the country's founding document to change them.
Per that logic, the below section also wouldn't be the foundation. You do realize that the Constitution allows the usage of amendments to turn the country into a monarchy, right? But that does not mean the founders envisioned an America that destroys itself in the end; this is true whether it's by the return of monarchism or an authoritarian regime disarming its populace.
America wasn’t built on any single right or set of rights, it was built on the idea that the people have the authority to define what rights deserve protection in the first place.
Then why did the Declaration of Independence call these rights "inalienable and endowed by to men by their creator?" This narrative falls flat once you actually read the writings of the founders, including their most famous document.
I agree with last part, but from what I’ve observed, it’s both parties, not just the Democrats. The two parties are now in open redistricting warfare. Neither will produce a real solution because both love this game being played. The only solution for the voter is to vote for a third party. But not enough will do it, because the masses are cattle. Universal suffrage was a mistake.
That's exactly what makes it a side issue.
No, it would mean it's as critical to the country as not having a king. You keep trying to downplay the importance of the 2A, as if it's something you can erase with semantics.
But you're still not at the foundation. What is the point of having all this representation if they take away your liberties? And if the Founding Fathers believed an American king was most likely to defend liberty, would they not have made the Washington line royalty?
They opposed a king, set up a system to avoid having a king, to protect American liberties; they simply believed a democratic-republic was the best option. Those liberties include property rights and, of course, the right to adequately defend said property, including the use of firearms.
The liberties granted in the Bill of Rights are closer to the core of this country than democracy or republicanism. This isn't to say the latter two aren't critical, but that those liberties, unalienable and endowed to men by their Creator, are the foundation.
The founding fathers built this nation in opposition to a king. A nation where laws would be shaped by debate over fiat.
And where the people with their creator-endowed rights would be free from tyranny.
Everything else are side issues, most of which were only enshrined because they believed it would protect the vision I just laid out from being thwarted.
If the founders believed it would protect the vision, then it’s not just a side issue. It’s critical to not having a king, and it’s critical for the protection of liberty. That includes speech, gun rights, and other property rights (which would entail freedom of association).
The fact that you overlook that in order to jump straight to your pet peeve issues demonstrates exactly the phenomenon the OP is pointing to. The right wing superiority complex is remarkable. The inability to tell the difference between what you personally value and what the country is, is remarkable.
Like it or not, our country was founded on those principles, and they do define the country. And yes, the ideas behind said principles are better than yours. If you disagree, you are also welcome to find a country with values closer to yours.
ha
Not being an asshole either. Again, nothing personal. The truth is bitter medicine.
I think the best solution is to give thread makers settings on whether likes are in/off for their thread. Could do it for individual posters as well.
This nation was founded on property rights, gun rights, freedom of association, with a Christian culture. The founders can best be described as Christian conservative-leaning minarchists.
Everything the left believes in is in opposition to the core of what makes America. They have beliefs systems more akin to what you’d find in Europe or Canada. Meanwhile America’s right wing is exclusive to America, unique to this country because it is exactly what made this country.
So if the left doesn’t like what this country is about, they should be the ones to leave. And they have plenty of options.
das rite
I am known for being blunt. Don’t take what I say personally.
